What is type of breaker for 41 amp's?

For a 41 amp load, you would typically use a 50 amp circuit breaker. The general rule is to select a breaker size that is 125% of the continuous load amps or equal to the load amps if it is not a continuous load. In this case, 41 amps is considered a continuous load, so you would round up to the nearest available breaker size, which is 50 amps.


What is the maximum current rating for the circuit breaker that can handle a load of 40 amps?

The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker that can handle a load of 40 amps is 40 amps.


Will your spa work with a 40 amp breaker even if it says 50 amp on the plate?

No, because if you switch a 50-amp load on, it will blow a 40-amp circuit breaker if the load exceeds 40 amps, which is likely.


What is KA in Circuit Breaker?

KA stands for kilo-amps, or thousands of amps. Thus a 2KA breaker means it will trip when the load exceeds 2,000 amps.


What size fuse required to supply a continuous load of 32 amps?

80% of 40 = 32 amps Load the circuit breaker to 80% choose a conductor to suit the circuit Breaker min.


What size of a circuit breaker for a 400v 64 amps?

To select a circuit breaker for a 400V system with a load of 64 amps, you typically choose a breaker rated for at least 125% of the continuous load. Therefore, the minimum rating would be 64 amps x 1.25 = 80 amps. A circuit breaker rated at 80 amps would be appropriate, ensuring it can safely handle the load without tripping under normal conditions. Additionally, consider the type of load and application, as well as any relevant local electrical codes.


What is the maximum current rating for the circuit breaker if the load requires a continuous current of 25 amps?

The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker should be at least 30 amps to accommodate the continuous current of 25 amps required by the load.


What is the maximum electrical load that a 110 amp breaker can handle?

A 110 amp breaker can handle a maximum electrical load of 110 amps.


What is the maximum load capacity of a Challenger 20 amp breaker?

The maximum load capacity of a Challenger 20 amp breaker is 20 amps.


If an electrician have a circuit that pulls a load of 10 amps what size breaker must that circuit be protected by?

For a circuit with a load of 10 amps, a breaker of 15 amps should be used for adequate protection. It is important to choose a breaker size that is slightly higher than the load to prevent frequent tripping and ensure safety.


Does a 20 amp breaker deliver 20 amps on the wire?

The breaker's function is to protect the circuit so that no more than 20 amps flow. The ability to create the 20 amp flow comes from the voltage supplied by the power company and the load you connect to the supply through the breaker. The breaker is just a switch that "opens" if the current flowing through it is to high. It has no role in generating the current.


What is the maximum electrical load that can be handled by a 15 amp tandem breaker?

A 15 amp tandem breaker can handle a maximum electrical load of 15 amps.
